Can the video show our cocktail and food menu?

Yes, when the menu appears as HTML or as images on the restaurant website. The browser can capture named cocktails, dishes, prices and menu photography that are visible on the page. A menu available only as a PDF cannot be captured reliably, so add an HTML version or upload selected pages as images first.

Can we make separate ads for happy hour and live music?

Yes. The first video is cut from the website alone, using the offers and events already visible there. Later videos accept a prompt, so you can request a happy-hour cut, a live-music event ad or a version centred on late-night food, provided the site contains accurate supporting material.

Will the ad use our bar’s actual look?

The scenes use real screenshots and brand tokens taken from the restaurant site, including its colours and typography. That keeps the ad connected to the atmosphere guests see when they visit the page. Strong room, cocktail and food photography gives the video more specific material to work with.

What do the video plans cost for a bar?

Two videos cost $19. The monthly option costs $39 for eight videos, which can cover recurring needs such as weekend events, new cocktail lists, seasonal dishes and changes to opening hours. Update the website before each cut so the captured menu, event and location details remain current.

Put your bar’s atmosphere on screen

Sizzledraft turns a bar’s restaurant website into a short video ad built from its food photography, drinks menu, events, hours and location. It captures real page content, matches the site’s visual style and renders a finished video with scored, normalised audio.

How can a bar turn its restaurant website into a video ad?

Sizzledraft opens the restaurant website in a headless browser and captures the material a guest uses to choose a bar: cocktail photography, food plates, drinks and food menus, event listings, opening hours and location. It then authors scenes using the site’s own colours, type and other brand tokens, rather than inventing a separate visual identity. The first video is cut from the website alone, so the page needs to make the bar’s strongest selling points visible. Later videos can take a prompt, such as focusing on happy hour, live music or late-night food. Each scene is rendered frame by frame, paired with synthesised audio and exported as H.264 at 30fps.

What should a bar website show before making a video ad?

Put current, high-quality images of the room, cocktails, beer, wine and signature dishes directly on the site. Show opening hours and the full street location as page text, and give each event a clear name, date and start time. Drinks and food menus work best as HTML because the browser can read and frame individual items. Menu images can also provide usable visual material, but text inside them may be harder to feature cleanly. A PDF-only menu cannot be captured reliably, so publish an HTML version or export selected menu pages as images. Remove expired events and old seasonal offers first, since the video should not advertise a past quiz night or a cocktail that is no longer served.

Which video format works for bar events and drinks?

Use vertical 1080x1920 video for feeds where people discover nearby bars while scrolling on a phone. Horizontal 1920x1080 suits website placements and screens where the room, bar counter or dining area benefits from a wider frame. Both formats render at 30fps in H.264, with audio normalised to -14 LUFS. If an event depends on a trending sound, that sound is handed over as a link so it can be attached natively when the video is posted. It is not baked into the exported file because baked-in audio does not count as using that sound on the platform. Keep the opening focused on one concrete reason to visit, such as Friday cocktails, live music or a late kitchen.

What the browser actually gets

The browser can capture food and cocktail photography, HTML menu items, event listings, opening hours and location details shown on the restaurant site. It cannot reliably capture a menu stored only as a PDF, so the drinks and food menu should also appear as HTML or page images. The first video is cut from the site alone, while later videos can follow a prompt.

The common mistake

A common mistake is filling the opening with a logo while hiding the reason to visit. Start with the strongest real image of the room, a signature drink or the advertised event, then add the bar name, date, hours and location.

Food and cocktail photos often sit across separate gallery, menu and event pages, making it hard to shape them into one clear video.
A bar needs to show its atmosphere without promising a mood that its website photography does not actually support.
Event dates, opening hours and drinks change regularly, so a video can become inaccurate soon after it is exported.
